Java Parallel Processing Framework 1.0 RC2

JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the server health and server shutdown/restart operations.

Changes

Performance enhancements were implemented in the server task dispatcher. A bug was fixed in the JPPF resource adapter that caused class loading problems when deployed in OC4J and Sun AS. A minor display issue was fixed in the fractals explorer. Improvements were made to the image color scheme in the fractals explorer.
